Did You, or Someone You, become a fan by..,

[thegame415]

an alternative method? Like, do you know anyone who started watching WWE because of something like Total Divas, or an appearance on another show, etc. I ask because a girl I know now watches Raw because she likes Nikki Bella and Natalya. So yea, people have started watching wrestling because of Total Divas.

I'd really love to know if anyone ever said "hmm, Dwayne Johnson is a wrestling champion again. I should watch/rewatch", or something similar.

My friend became a fan because he found the crowd hijacking Royal Rumble 2014 funny.

[mcmahonfan85]

i started watching wrestling to find out who was who in WCW/nWo World Tour so i could pick someone other than Black Ninja and thus stop getting mocked by my friends

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I became a fan through WCW/nWo Revenge, if that means anything.

^^^^ similarly, I loved wrestling as a kid. Stopped watching during HHH's reign of terror. Had to start watching again when Dad got me Smack down vs Raw. I had no idea who Cena, Orton or Batista were.

I became a fan thanks to Smackdown 2.

Is she watching the same Total Divas show that the rest of us are watching?

Same, and while I liked WWF, too, Wrestlemania 2000(the game, not the PPV) got me way more into WWF than I had been, even if I had no idea who the f*** Meat was.

I had stopped mid Triple H's reign of terror, started again when I heard Bradshaw from the APA was WWE Champion.

I HAD to see that for myself. So I did, and it was glorious.

I've turned like, 3 people into wrestling fans via roleplaying. One of them is deep into the indy scene these days.

I'd say I'm pretty damn good.

Kinda....after WCW was sold to WWE, I got out of wrestling.

I got back into it when someone put up the infamous slo-mo match featuring the North Star Express (i believe) which pulled me back into wrestilng and eventually wwe.

But Black Ninja was awesome! He's ninja!

I stopped watching sometime in the early-mid ninties and got back into it because of WWF War Zone on N64

The CHIKARA one was North Star Express vs. the Olson Twins.

I became a fan through a mixture of Rock returning and ZTLIS.

...What?

I became a wrestling fan by watching ECW on my local public access channel, and went on to WWF and WCW when they started signing ECW guys I liked.

[Kitty Shamrocks]

My friend's girlfriend watched wrestling in the past, but got into it again through Total Divas. The girl I'm dating now, who is friend of said friend's girlfriend, got into it by watching it with her.

It's like a disease. These people have no idea what they're getting into.

I became a fan by way of Road to WrestleMania mode from SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, Punk's storyline in particular.

[Snowman]

I became a fan many many years ago because of the old WWF superstars game. My favourite wrestler was Jim Duggan because I liked him best in the game, and I hated the honky tonk man as he was rubbish in the game.

Then many years later my friends because a fan because the only 4 player game I had was one of the WWE games on the GameCube so we used to play that when we had games nights!

[thegame415]

So basically, video games lead to wrestling fans?

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

I got into initially as a kid after renting WWF Attitude, then drifted away around 2001-ish, but then a friend brought Here Comes the Pain over, and I got back into it.

And a few years later, I got a bunch of friends into it after a friend of mine got a Multitap for the PS2 for his birthday, and we all spent ages playing the Royal Rumble in SvR 2006, switching out when you got eliminated.

And by god, I earned that Rumble win as Heidenreich!

That was a fun storyline.
